Robert, I see a visit from the PAR meter in your future.

I hear rumors that PAR meters do not measure light from LEDs accurately. I'm tempted to dismiss this as an excuse for low PAR readings from some very pricey commercial models. Do you know anything about this?

yep true from what I was told it's has something with how the par picks up the light, or how it breaks down to p.u.r.(use able light)../ i'd really like to see how leds read out it seems every aquarium company is going leds. I see aquaeon starting making t5 light fixtures that look like the normal output t5 coral life fixtures, now aquaeon is even making led fixtures problem is doesn't tell what spectrum the leds are..
